Thanks..I had started to look at that as one possible way of getting a freewheel with the ratios I wanted. Looks like 6 and 7 speed ultra is interchangeable too which helps

Waiting for a few bits to arrive but have reinstated the missing 531 tube sticker in the mean time. The bike is an 81 which I believe was a cut over year in the Reynolds decal designs. Decided on this one which is NOS from 82 The Mafac 2000 brakes came up very nicely too

For those who don’t do FB. I had the same frame once, was common to a few lesser known brands. Wasn’t bad tbh

Definately worth the drive !

Don’t you just love it when that happens. Looks in great condition

Sure they did an e-stay version of this (edit..didn’t read @Markybeau ‘s comment. 😎) In fact they did ..and I owned one ..and gave it away. Memory not what it was 🤣 https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1988-rockhopper-comp-f-f-pacific-e-stay-f-f-gone.279371/post-2085518

Sorted 😎

It wasn’t me ……honest 🤣 I am sure the name at least will live on.

I am so chuffed with both. The tools are just amazing quality. This puts my Park TS2 to shame If anyone needs a bottom bracket facing in Hampshire you know where I am 😁

All in bags here. Also found die’s for cutting threads on steerer tubes.

I am literally just trying to sort through all of these. Some I still have no idea what they do 😱

Right, so no one told me I’d need a different size crank puller too..23.3mm! ..…Luckily I had an old Park one that worked. It’s been a while since I’d serviced a cup and cone bottom bracket but it all came flooding back to me. Non drive side came out fine…but then..how do you remove the fixed...

Manage to shear one off undoing it ☹️ Any one got one in their spares bin..just need the hex bolt, not the collar bit it screws into

For future reference 😉 Confusingly it is a 10mm spark plug socket
